Last week, FutbolMLS.com unveiled each one of the eight groups, including 32 players from 11 nationalities and representing 15 MLS clubs.

Among the nominees for Latino del Año 2013 are Vancouver Whitecaps’ Golden Boot winner Camilo Sanvezzo and assist leader Diego Valeri from the Portland Timbers. Fans will be able to vote for plenty of players who have made their careers in MLS, and some who have just begun calling MLS their home this year.

MLSsoccer.com and FutbolMLS.com editors ranked the 32 best Latin American players throughout the 2013 MLS regular season, based on the following criteria:

Performance during the 2013 MLS regular season

Impact generated for his team

Number of times the player won/was nominated for Latino de la Jornada

Official games he played with his club

After nominations were in, editors ranked each player, with the first eight players claiming the top seed in each group.

Created in 2010, Latino del Año is FutbolMLS.com's annual contest to select the best Latin American player in MLS based on fan voting. The contest is held at the end of each MLS regular season, consisting of three weeks of voting by fans who determine which players advance to each round until a winner is chosen. In 2010, former Seattle Sounders Colombian striker Fredy Montero was crowned the winner. Former Sporting Kansas City Mexican forward Omar Bravo was the winner in 2011, while Honduran Boniek García won the 2012 contest.
